This seminar will review a few of the products included in the New York Universitycampus wide License of MATLAB and various Toolboxes.Specifically, we will discuss and demonstrate simple ways to improve and optimizeyour code that can boost execution speed by orders of magnitude. We will alsoaddress common pitfalls in writing m-code, explore the use of the MATLAB Profiler tofind bottlenecks, and briefly introduce our Parallel Computing Toolbox andDistributed Computing Server to solve computationally and data-intensive problems onmulticore computers and clusters.
